Asymmetric activation of zebrafish p38 during the early cleavage period. Top view of zebrafish embryos after fluorescent immunostaining with the anti-p38 antibody at the 2-cell (A), 4-cell (D), 8-cell stage (G), and the 16-cell stage (J), or with anti–dp-p38 antibody (anti–ACTIVE p38™ antibody) at the 2-cell (B and C), 4-cell (E and F), 8-cell (H and I), and the 16-cell stage (K and L). The distribution of p38 or activated p38 (red) was determined using a confocal microscope. Images were taken at a depth of 100 μm from the animal pole surface. Bar, 100 μm.
